Root Rooting G900V

[NastyNate55]

So I have successfully downgraded my phone to 4.4.2, but when I try to run towelroot it says that the phone is not supported. I have tried using the modstrings, but get the same answer. I dont remember what firmware I had before downgrading, but I believe that it was OD5(because I have read that I couldn't downgrade if it was mroe recent than that). I have also tried running SuperSU but it says that "there is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot instal it."(not sure if this means anything.

Although I do like the phone a lot more just because it's not running lollipop, I would really like to root it and would prefer to not trip my knox.

Thanks in advance for any help.

If any of these firmwares are older than the one you have, you are welcome to them.

Do you think that could be the issue? I have read that you just need some form of 4.4.2 to be able to root.

You will need to flash Verizon firmware NCG on Android 4.4.2 to use TowelRoot.
